No, I’m not going to dig deep into the never-ending rabbit hole of sociology, because the game also doesn’t do that, but Normality doesn’t hide its critic about society in the 90s. A city where police authority is a metaphor for norm. Those imposed by society, shared standards of acceptable behavior by groups and deemed to be powerful drivers of human behavior. The metaphor of watching TV 24 hours a day, for miss information and control of opinions turning people into non-thinking human beings. The oligarchy in Neutropolis, where power is held by a small group which see the dumb population as path to maintain this way of life. Again, not that Normality reaches deep into these issues, but they are present and dealing with them in a humorous way is probably the best way. Funny to see, after all these years, how a critic to 90s society, blinded by misinformation, capitalism and possession, lazy to look at the real problems in the world, is so up-to-date… this within an enjoyable first person, 3D, adventure game.

Blade Runner is not perfect, and in a world of Lucas Arts and Sierra adventure games, one can get suspicious about it. However, the beautiful and distopian world where it takes place, the magnificent story that leaves you asking questions about morals, actions and life in general, and the very simple to use controls, all make for a great experience. Blade Runner the game, just like the movie, is a sublime experience. While not being perfect, don't let that experience get lost in time... like tears in rain. Time to play.
